USA All-Time Top 5 (Until March '17)

Second Generation Kick-ins

We are witnessing to a surprisingly stable market, with no changes in the Top 5 regarding the last survey, the Chevrolet Volt is still #1, benefiting from the uptick in sales of the Second Generation, thus distancing itself from the Second Place Nissan Leaf.

The Tesla Model S is Third, on its way to reach the Nissan Leaf, while the Second Generation Prius Plug-In (Aka Prius Prime) has helped the Japanese nameplate to recover the Fourth Place from the Ford Fusion Energi, now back at #5.

This ALL-TIME list puts into context the very high barrier that Elon Musk and Tesla will climb if they are to sell 500,000 model 3's [worldwide] in 2018. If/when its done it will be one of the most extraordinary changes to purchasing habits ever achieved. (None of the cars in the 400,000 sales in the list above are "bad" electric cars - so where have the buyers been.)
